Our practice devotion this week focuses on excellence. Players and cheerleaders are encouraged to memorize this verse. As games begin players will be asked to say the verse during the pregame huddle. The team that can say the verse will get the ball first.

There are also parent companions to go with each week's devotion. This helps parents talk with their children about what they are learning during practice devotion time. Check your email for your parent companion on your practice night each week.
